Re: Blenz Coffee

I work there also. Since it is a franchaise company, it depends on your employer & if the place is busy or not. I quite like it though. Congrats btw :)

Aw, no way ! The one at broadway?! Is it tough learning all the drinks & whatnot? How are the other employees & managers? I wouldn't be too worried considering how nice you sound.. but yeah !

Re: Blenz Coffee

^oh not @ broadway LOL. I think it's not tough if you learn fast and have prev drinks-making exprience (which is my case). It took me about two weeks (that's about 7-10 shifts) to learn all the drinks. Sry I can't answer ur 2nd question...I think you would find out once you go though. My co-workers here are super friendly (: and thanks Lol.

Re: Blenz Coffee

I worked at a Blenz before. The drinks are pretty easy to remember, so you should be fine. I hated it though because I worked at such a busy place and my boss sucked (worked 3 months OUTSTANDINGLY with no raise whatsoever).

Re: Blenz Coffee

it depends on your experience but I believe most of the shops start at minimum wage. there is no incentives or anything..all depends on the owner
